It was inevitable. :) I'll continue to lash out at all the scouts and GMs who screwed the pooch on what should've been one of the easiest decisions in this year's draft. It's mind-boggling to me that people could be paid a lot of money and watched this kid play a lot and still dismissed him entirely on the basis of his height when he does every single thing you want a QB to do. Every single thing. Yeah I'm a Badgers alum and fan so I have some bias. But I'm biased because Wilson's damn good.

As a Dolphins fan I hope Tanehill is the real deal and the early evidence looks promising but I was desperate for us to trade down and target Wilson.

I said before and after the draft every team that took a QB after RG3 not named Russell Wilson was making a mistake. He was easily the third-best QB in this year's draft in my opinion.

...somewhere in the recesses of my brain Tom's words must have been lingering as I just drafted Wilson in a dynasty league - have plenty of time for him to develop holding my clipboard behind Eli and Rivers

Everytime I hear of QB height... I think of Doug Flutie. I always pull for the Doug Flutie's of the NFL.

The Seahawks have announced that Russell Wilson is getting the start in Friday's third pre-season game and a good start could vault the UW grad into the starting role during his rookie season. Hmmm, do you think Tom is excited about this news? ;)

Matt Flynn hasn't looked too bad in pre-season, but Wilson is a cool cat. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The alarm bells about Flynn should have been ringing loudly from the moment Philbin & the Dolphins passed on him.
